Digital Soil Mapping Across Paradigms, Scales and Boundaries / Springer Environmental Science and Engineering (PDF)

applying
statistical methods fornatural resources inventory and monitoring. He has
published numerous papers in peer-reviewed, international journals on these
topics. He is second co-author of the book 'Sampling for Natural Resource
Monitoring', published in 2006 by Springer. This book is widely acclaimed in soil, earth, environmental, agriculture, and
statistical sciences. He was the Vice-chair of the International Union of Soil
Science commission Pedometrics. He was awarded Best Paper on Pedometrics in
1996, 2004 and 2011 by the Pedometrics Commission of the International Union
for Soil Science (IUSS). In 2014 he was granted by the Chinese Academy of Science a Visiting Professorship
for Senior International Scientists.











Dr. Feng Liu is working as an associate professor in soil
geography, Department of Soil Resources and Remote Sensing Applications,
Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China. His
work on soils started with his PhD thesis on predictivesoil mapping over low
relief areas such as plains and gently undulating terrains. His research
interest and projects focus on this topic. He is a member of the advisory board
for the Pedometrics Commission, for the period of 2014-2018. He obtained his
MSc degree from the Department of Geography, University of Lanzhou, and his PhD
degree from the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural resources,
Chinese Academy of Sciences. He had done one-year soil mapping work as a
visiting scholar in the group of Canadian Soil Information System (CanSIS) at
Ottawa.





Dr. Xiao-Dong Song is working as an assistant professor in soil
geography, Department of Soil Resources and Remote Sensing Applications,
Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China. He
completed his PhD in soil science in 2013 at Nanjing Normal University. He was
awarded Doctoral National Scholarship in 2013.







Philippe Lagacherie trained as an Agronomist and completed his PhD
in soil science in 1992. He obtained his senior scientist degree from
Montpellier 2 University in 2002 for his researches on digital soil mapping
methods. He is currently senior researcher at INRA Montpellier (France) and
lead a research team of the LISAH research unit entitled "spatial structures
and dynamics of the cultivated landscapes". Dr Philippe Lagacherie has been
involved in research dealing with Digital Soil Mapping, remote sensing and
spatial modelling of cultivated landscapes. He developed spatial approaches
that associated field knowledge, GIS, remote sensing, geostatistics, and fuzzy
logic. He organised the first international workshop on Digital Soil mapping in
Montpellier (2004) and is the co-editor of the first book on Digital Soil
Mapping published in 2007. He has conducted several research projects at the
crossroad of soil, agronomy and hydrology. Dr Philippe Lagacherie has been
nominated in the editorial boards of Geoderma and Int. J. of Earth Observation
and Geo-information.
